"When they arrived at school they realized the walk was completely silent except for Tor's hello. They didn't care, they didn't need to talk."

"This was quickly becoming a mutual friendship." Arthur groaned on. "Ebony soon realized she had all her classes with Tor. They created a pact that Ebony would sit in her usual spot and Tor would follow her to the seat next to her. They walked to class together in complete silence, but they were side by side. The teachers attitudes went up when they saw the pair together, they almost had hope for Ebony. They sat next to each other at lunch, Ebony was even able to peep out a few words a day. When the teachers saw her they noticed she was happier and calmer." Arthur beamed.
"At lunch one day Ebony brought up this book she had seen in the library. It was in the top corner in the back of a hidden room. She noticed it had a 'not open for public' sign on it. When she had asked the librarian about it she had ignored Ebony's question. Ebony droned on and on about what she thought the book could be about. Tor was shocked with how much Ebony was talking. Every single teacher in the cafeteria was staring at them with their jaws wide open." Arthur chuckled like he was remembering the moment.
"We couldn't get her to shut up after that," Arthur joked. "She said that night she was going to get that book, and nobody was stopping her." Arthur declared.
